Otherwise known as ‘false teeth,’ these prosthetic teeth can replace just one, several, or all your teeth depending on your needs.
What are dentures made of?
Dentures are usually made from a variety of materials including acrylic, cobalt, and chrome. The prosthetic teeth are designed to look as much like natural teeth as possible, and the base is designed to sit over the gums or roof of the mouth.
Why do I need dentures?
At The York Dental Suite, we recommend replacing missing teeth wherever possible. Leaving gaps in your smile can lead to further oral health problems, not to mention reduce your smile confidence and leave you feeling self-conscious when you smile. It can also contribute to difficulty eating and speaking which can be hard to live with. Dentures can help address these problems in a cost-effective way.
By combining the appropriate denture materials with good preventive dentistry practices, individuals can achieve a natural-looking smile, improved oral health, and long-lasting comfort with their dentures.
Are there alternative treatments available?
There are several alternative treatments available when it comes to replacing missing teeth. Dental bridges, and implants are both possibilities, and we’ll be sure to talk you through all your options at a consultation with one of our team members here at The York Dental Suite.
